Hi there,

thank you for the answers, this will work! automated versioning would be nice, be requires a lot of setting up and storage.

Hi, I was wondering if there is any way I can prevent FOG from automatically overwriting images.

I just clicked ‘capture image’ from a host with the intention of creating a new image, instead I ended up overwriting the live current image that I use for all our normal pcs.

Ideally I guess that you could update an image incrementally (only store differences to the previous image) and so build a history.

Alternatively just a really clear message in the GUI saying ‘You are about to overwrite an image, are you sure?’ would work too…

How do I mark this topic as solved? can’t seem to find the button for it…

Hi Tom! Always on the ball…

I had already tried that, but couldn’t make it work. Tried it again and then it did… strange, must have done something wrong.

Thank you!

Similar questions have been asked before:
https://forums.fogproject.org/topic/409/add-normal-wipe-to-pxe-boot-menu/5

but those are old threads and I hope there are newer ‘better’ ways of doing things.

basically I would like to be able to select a ‘Wipe’ option from the Fog Boot Menu. I’m kind of new to fog and made it to adding a menu item I called ‘fog.wipe’. But how do I configure that? Do I need to do something with DBAN like other threads talk about, or can I just use the wipe option integrated in to FOG?

And… thinking about it… I now do wipes by assigning wipe tasks from the fog management… is there any way to see the progress? it just says ‘writing zeros’… will this take minutes, hours, days still?

Thank you!
